Sunshine Pie from Life Thyme, where I also dipped into the
free samples of vegan cookies one-two-three too many times

So I’m coming out of my quasi-hibernation, my little break
from overloaded schedules and emotional taxation. Thank you for your patience
and kind words. I wouldn’t say I’m back with a vengeance, but I’m back. And happy
for it. Ready to crank up the productivity levels again. Excited for new summer
adventures.

On the book front, I
had the delicious honor of being interviewed by Joan Hamburg for her talk radio
show. A foodie and Francophile herself, it was fun to chat chocolate and cookies with her. I also found out my book is getting translated into
Portuguese for the great, big country of Brazil, and it’s also been recorded
and released as an audio book. Further heartening news: one of my best friends
as well as a dear cousin are both reading Paris, My Sweet with their book clubs—which
is so sweet, but also makes me feel a little funny (there's always someone who hates the book and/or author... how will they respond when the inevitable happens?? Eek!)

On the personal
front, I happily have a man in my life. But I lost a dear aunt. I guess life is
nothing if not a rollercoaster with many lessons to be learned and moments to be savored. I’m weaning myself, even if it’s ever so
slightly, from sugar; working on an article about my beloved home, Connecticut; and
wondering how I can get a Tracy Anderson body without the workouts (accepting all ideas and advice on any of the former points).

I hope everyone's summer is off to a glorious start, with barefoot walks through the grass, wine and cheese picnics, and double scoop afternoons on the agenda. I'm taking just a wee break from the blog... back before the fireflies come out for the season! xo
